1.2 Making greetings
Informal greetings & formal greetings
British people are less demonstrative than any other nationalities and a reserved manner is expected. And at the first meeting, the British believe that the neutral topics of opening conversation are more acceptable than exchanging personal information. Furthermore, the British will try to avoid religion and politics.
If the person your are meeting seems back off, do not force a handshake. If he does not respond to your offer to shake hands, simply drop your hand back, smile, and say “hello”. For Japanese people, making physical contact always remains an uncomfortable experience, so shake hands when a Japanese person offers his hand.
When you are introduced to someone, either one of you may extend your hand first. Your handshake should be relaxed but firm (never be limp), and you should look at the other person in eyes, smile, and say “I am very pleased to meet you.” or give other cordial (热诚友 好的)greetings.

People of all ages prefer to use first names instead of titles and last names. While in our China, some people like to be called with their titles.
